EUR/GBP edges lower despite downbeat UK retail sales

  • The Euro (EUR) edges lower against the British Pound (GBP) on Friday, unable to capitalize on disappointing UK retail sales data released earlier in the day. However, the British Pound remains resilient, still drawing support from the Bank of England's(BoE) decision to keep its key interest rate unchanged on Thursday, which has helped anchor expectations for a cautious policy path ahead.
